This place is breathtakingly stunning. Walking down the driveway for the first time at night took my breath away. The inside of the house is so large but still gives you a sense of being warm and cozy. The kitchen is massive and a great place to hangout while preparing meals. The beds were comfortable and warm. The surrounding gardens are well kept and a great place to relax and enjoy the wildlife. The football field was a perfect size for a friendly game. The playground and trampoline brought out the inner child in me and was a great place to lay and stare at the clouds. Overall I hope to visit this place again. Being from Australia, this is exactly how I pictured English Countryside living.

My new wife and I married at Birdsgrove on the 2nd of September and it couldn't have been a better venue. Here are a handful of reasons why:

Perfect location: Easy to reach but tucked away next to a beautiful little river with plenty of subtle parking there too.

Amazing grounds: There's so much to wonder around and explore, every wedding guest commented on the amazing grounds without exception. Place is beautifully maintained and there are lots of little surprises there too like the WWII bunker to name just one.

Picturesque house with subtle modern comforts: The beds are first rate and the drop down TV projector is a wonderful touch, there's also a brilliant sound system that will play music in to the different rooms of the house (which totally made the reception).

The Proprietors: Kerry and her Husband and the final star in my review. As a company director working in London I am constantly dealing with other business owners who have no time for you, or make promises they can't remember making let alone have any intention of keeping. The proprietors of Birdsgrove House on the other hand were first rate. Generous with their time and attention (even whilst I was in pre-wedding meltdown) and constantly available to answer questions about the booking and the house.

We loved Birdsgrove so much we intend to revisit with our family for a holiday together next year. if you're taking the time to read this page, and this review, do yourself a favour and book. I guarantee you'll be making the right call.

Booked Birdsgrove House for our wedding and it was perfect! Kerry (the owner) was fab, really helped us to make sure the day went smoothly. The house itself is large enough for a large group to have space but felt really intimate and homely at the same time. The grounds are stunning and the huge play room and trampoline made sure the kids had plenty to do. Couldn't recommend this venue highly enough for a wedding, the ceremony room was gorgeous and the service by Kerry faultless.

Stayed over a weekend (Friday to Monday) with a large group of 17 family members aged from 3 to 93. Really good facilities. The kitchen is magnificent with enough room for everyone to congregate at any time of the day. Only used the dining room once as everyone felt more at home in the kitchen. The childrens play room is superb with enough toys to keep the most active kids busy and happy. Enough other rooms that everyone can meet and chat or get away for a bit of peace and quiet, or even a snooze, when the going gets tough! Bedrooms are all comfortable although some of the en-suites are rather small and could do with being updated. Having said that it all adds to the charm of the property which used to be a convalescent home for the Pharmaceutical Society! Gardens are superb again with enough room for the children and more senior to enjoy without falling over each other.Situation of the house is slightly too far out of Ashbourne to walk easily but local pub is apparently well worth a visit although I have to admit we didnt feel the need to go outside of the house and grounds so didnt actually visit.Overall a lovely property, friendly and obliging owners definitely worth considering.
